Three days after the report to rear-admiral Tanaka, Commander Akiyama receives an official appointment from submarine's captain to an officer without a portfolio.
This is an appointment that an officer in sick care receives.
Or, this is an appointment that an officer until a formal transfer is decided receives.
He thinks "The recent command of transfer has a hidden background."
He is wise enough to see through the truth.
He thinks some mysteries that originated in the attack three weeks ago are related to the recent command.
And he is convinced that his position changes greatly.
A week later, a female sergeant comes into the room of Commander Akiyama, who had completed his succession to the successor captain.
She made a salute, telling him an order.
"Come to the heliport in the base at 1 p.m. today."
Mysterious command without a destination and commanding person is within his expectation.
"Roger that."
She listens to his reply and leaves the room.
He has only three hours before his departure.
He mutters to himself "I'll get busy."
He's excited that a situation has begun to change while preparing to depart quickly.
==========================================
At 1 p.m.
A high-speed helicopter capable of long-distance flight stays at the heliport.
A rotor is already rotating slowly.
The female sergeant he met three hours ago is waiting for him at the heliport.
"I've been waiting for you, Commander Akiyama."
"Please ride in the helicopter."
She seems to go with him because she has ridden in the helicopter before him.
He thinks "Is my destination far?"
"Well, when I arrive at the destination, I will know."
He resolves on going the destination and rides in the helicopter.
